CHICAGO IS IN THE HOUSE (white house)






On Friday we went to see Joel. Yes, Chicago is proud that its citizen is moving to the White House. There are special editions of the Sun Times, and Joel bought a T-shirt that has a picture of the white house on it with the caption Chicago is in the House at the rally on election night in Grant Park

We did some shopping on Friday.....Joel didnt get back to Chicago from New York until early evening....Joel had arranged for us to get into his apartment, but when he got home, he found us asleep on his couches. Ahh that time zone change.

On Saturday together we visited the American girl doll store, where I bought my first american girl doll, Kit. It was adorable to see all the little girls carrying their dolls and I am waiting for Emmio to get old enough to take her doll to have tea and see the store too. Joe needed some things for his apartment so we went to crate and barrel too. In the late afternoon we went to Shedd's aquarium to see all the new changes there and then to see the lights at Macy's on State Street and to eat dinner in the Walnut Room.

The American Girl dolls are great. Our older granddaughter's had them and this year we will be introducing Isabelle, Faith and Mercedes to them for their birthday's. The books are great too, Rachel still reads them. Julia Roberts has produced two movies I think about them and if I am not mistaken one of them is based on Kit. Glad you had a great time, Chicago is always fun.
